COLUMBIA -- Lexington High’s boys relay team continued its impressive late-season run Friday, narrowly capturing first place in the 4x800-meter finals at the opening night of the 20th Annual Taco Bell Track and Field Classic held at Spring Valley High, and setting a meet record in the process.

Year 20!! Quite a milestone. It all started with the first “rubber” track at Spring Valley and a commitment by Coach Jones to make it a little bit better each year. No doubt he does make it better each year. What a palace Harry Parone stadium has become. Combine Coach Jones’ desire to put on a meet that athletes will remember at a high school facility that is second to none and you end up with some pretty rich tradition.
